Looking real hard, the tail marking suggest Finland

You would think with someone in front taking it's picture and an explosion behind and Hurricanes flying low overhead that reindeer would be long gone before a picture could be snapped. Either that is a stuffed reindeer, someone's pet, or one real bad case of "frozen in the headlights". I'd like to know the source of that picture from Brady if it's available. One of the strangest WWII pictures I've ever seen.

What a weird picture! My first reaction is that it must have been altered - two pictures put together as one. Really looking forward to hearing more about this....

The Hurricanes sold to Finland arrived too late to take part in the Winter War. Also, the finnish planes had nationality markings only in wings and fuselage, not in the tail.

Hurricanes, it is


Reindeer, it is


...............................


Image source indicates that these are Russian Hurricanes, and pisture was taken in Russia, thought it could well be along the Finish front. The MK of Huricane is prety hard to tell thought the conspicious lack of Hispano cannons protruding from the wings means they are either MK I or MK IIA or B's.

I think this is likely a composate photo, though I may be wrong.

I think so, too - at least two - probably three pictures put together. If the picture was real I don't think you would have the clarity you see throughout the depth of field - either the things in front or in back would be blurry.

Way cool, though. Thanks!

Even on aesthetic grounds I think it is impossible. Look how the antlers perfectly fill the void let by the two groups of Hurricanes. Not to mention the risk to the reindeer and photographer from shrapnel.

The lighter color rock appears to me to be either a pen & ink or pencil drawing.

Than the explosion was added. Still say it's a volcanic eruption.

Now that those planes have been identified and with Rudolph as an eye witness.

The Ruskies did it!
